I tell especially dumb children that are actively making mistakes that cost me time and money that they're doing their best and that's all that matters. It's a lie and I'm pretty sure they know it but somehow that's both a useful and reasonable reaction to have for the national security advisor.
Children, or people still learning for that matter, deserve to told “hey, you did your best and you’ve made some progress”. Allegedly competent adults that fuck up adding people to a group chat about something as important as this deserve to be beaten around the head with anything available. Not told “great job buddy. Have a lollipop for your hard work”.
We embrace the idea of human foibles and errors while we're learning to do our work, when consequences are minor or contained. This is WHY we don't make highly advanced positions in companies open to just anyone.
When you get to the point that you're making decisions about how you're going to spend millions of taxpayer dollars to end the lives of a group of people who are impacting the world, I would dearly hope that you have "completed" your training in life and are not making mistakes anymore, I would dearly hope that the people making these decisions have so much practice and experience in these operations that they wouldn't need a feel-better cookie for making a huge boo-boo.
And yet here we are.
When it’s something as critical as this why aren’t things double or even triple checked, though?
They are. I’m sure there are policies against discussing confidential actions on commercial services. I’m sure there are approved services they could have used, that there is security policy to use. I’m sure no external people would have been allowed to I’m sure they’re monitored for various leaking data. I’m sure there is someone accountable for making it so.
It’s not just that these are dumbasses who made a stupid mistake, but they are almost certainly so convinced of their own superiority that they don’t have to follow policies that everyone else does, policies that prevent stupid mistakes like this.
The real problem is they are above the law. They are royalty not accountable to any rules or ethics. That’s the real problem.
Edit: I’m also sure there are data retention policies to ensure things are auditable for treason, spying, illegal operations. Another reason they may have for using signal is to escape potential scrutiny, escape any responsibility for their actions, by using a service that’s not managed, not monitored, has no accountability. These people should not be allowed in charge of a loaf of bread’
I mean, to put it bluntly, they're idiots who think they know more than they do because of the Dunning-Kruger effect. They didn't pass tests or show qualifications for their positions, these are media personalities who were either elected by idiots or nominated by idiots. The system is flawed.
I wonder if it was done on purpose. It’s like the U.K. Conservative Party isn’t incompetent, it’s self serving.
Their ultimate goal (the ones who financed this administration if not the members themselves) have the clear goal of crashing the economy so they can reap it all up at a bargain, then when the markets recover, they will be holding a large portion of America's material resources. To say nothing of whatever Putin is paying them to weaken our military standing. It could very well be a deliberate ploy to kill trust in our intelligence agency.
But that would be way too smart for these clowns. It's simply more likely that a lifetime of waging politics on social media and television doesn't really prepare you for the exacting and demanding requirements of actual national security.
Have I ever told you that you're doing a good job?
No?
Ever wonder why?
But her emails though...
Has anyone mentioned Hunters laptop yet?

Anyone member, "you're doing a heckuva job, Brownie"?
Good thing we are abandoning that woke DEI bullshit and hire based on merit again! 🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷💪💪🦾
"Mike colors outside the lines, but doesn't eat the crayon. He does his best."
He would definitely eat the crayon if orange mussolini told him to
Probably just a nibble tho
If that's his best he needs a new career and a new brain
you guys could have had Tim "Feed the kids" Walz instead of Mike "What's OpSec" Waltz
We obviously didn't deserve the good one.
tHe bEsT PeOpLe
"Es hat sich stets sehr bemüht"
Es means it. I don't know if that is intentional
I have chosen its pronouns!
So he admits he has a skill issue?
Trump has no idea what signal is. He basically has no real concept of what this scandal is about.
Had to be a sick ostrich.
Double pronouns. Sorry.
Trump just said hegseth has a skill issue lol.
If that's his best then his resignation is as urgent as ever
It’s funny that this is posted in shitposts and it’s super appropriate
Well it's not a meme (and I'd be told that immediately) so wasn't sure where to go with it. Fortunately the rules of shitpost are that anything goes.
Whew, yep, its a tough job, but Petey's got a good head on 'im and rolls with the punches, somebody get that man a drink!
Err. Uh. I mean... Do we have O'Douls?
EDIT: Also, dear God, the sub headline:
Trump asked if hackers can break into Signal...
You might as well ask a dog what its favorite shade of red is.
Wow, that's a whole 'nother level of incompetent leadership.
I said I was going to be using this a lot...

Thanks…
Kleptocracy.
Kek•i•sto•cra•cy
This. Gotta change the spelling for Kek
For Germans it works both ways "Kacke" is a less offensive word for "shit" (or "Scheiße" in German).
In Hungary it's actually "kaki" that would be the closest translation of poop. So, spot on.
Guys, they’re not going to be batting 1000…. On anything. They’re going to be breaking A. LOT. of eggs, whilst not even trying to bat anywhere near 1000. That will be them doing their “best.”
His best isn’t good enough
